Disagree. There are many reasons that the Pack lost yesterday.....a huge one being Burnett sliding down after Wilson's 4th pick. At worst, he gets the ball close to field goal position. At best, he returns it for a touchdown.Mike McCarthy is the sole reason GB lost yesterday.
Game is completely different if Burnett doesnt slide.
Really? Burnett sliding affected the game? GB got exactly what they wanted, a turnover.
I dont know how you can say him sliding DIDNT affect the game. At the very least, he gets the Packers to the edge of field goal range. At most, he runs it into the endzone. Either of which would have completely changed the last 5 minutes of the game.
How about GB running into the line 3 straight times then putting the defense back on the field who then proceeded to give up a TD?
Man, I said it the MOMENT it happened. I even rewound it. All they had back was 5 Olineman, and Russ. Burnett had Ha Ha on his hip, and Peppers out in front, then whatever other Lineman/Backers were there to help block those Olineman.
Burnett takes that to the + 40 side, or the 30, field goal range, maybe inside the 10, scores, etc. He completely changes that whole run into the line 3 times and punt.
Hell, if he gains 15-20 yards, maybe that same punt pins them inside the 5, etc. Time off the clock, longer field, even the play itself would have been an extra 5-10 seconds.
It was the first play in an overly cautious approach to closing that game. He played it safe, instead of making a football play which is to advance the ball your way when you have it.
I disagree with a lot of this but I don't wanna derail the thread more than it already has gone so I'll just agree to disagree.
